Question

Find the diagonal of a rectangle whose sides are 35 m and 12 m

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find using pythogoras theorem.

Consider the diagonal as the hypotenuse.

equation: a²+b²=c²(where a and b are sides of the rectangle and c is the diagonal)

Let's now proceed to the equation:

a=35m

b=12m

c=?

Therefore,

35²+12²=c²

c²= 1225+144

c²= 1369

c=√1369=37

Therefore, the diagonal is 37.
